nameless archive: phone

This is pretty old now, but during the summer of 2013 I release another little album. This time it was even more DIY than the previous one... often when I come up with something I quickly record it on my iPhone... using it as a kind of dictaphone...

I have always liked rough recordings (demos, bootlegs etc)... sometimes it is called lo-fi, but the name doesn't really matter. I just thought I'd be cool to release songs that were recorded in the very moment they were created (sometimes even before they were finished), in other words the actual discovery of the song is caught on tape... which I like. So this is the end result of this experiment; unmastered, straight and exposed.

Ghislain: the riff for the Iboga song (especially the intro, but also lyrics) I wrote while coming down from the Iboga in Gabon... there was a guitar in the room we rested in (if you recall). In this case I recorded it on my iPhone when I got back home as I was in no state to do any recordings while ON the Iboga, but the music came through the experience and the opening riff I think I played over and over again for hours while floating through space. LOL! Maybe you can hear the HARP as a source of inspiration.

Donít let the delusion of reality confuse you regarding the reality of the illusion.

Musician here: my critical eye tells me not to like it but my heart tells me I do. Really this is what music is about; to feel and to express (not to follow what we're told music should be limited by and you've reminded me of this). It's quirky and I like it.

This is the third release, and this one is focused on the ukulele.

That's right folks, no guitars on this album... although there are plenty of other instruments all led by the glorious ukulele. Enjoy!
